PLAZA THEATRE.
"GOOD-NIGHT VIENNA." Jack Buchanan, vJho was in "Man of Mayfair" and "Monte Carlo" some time ago, again appears in "Good-night Vienna," a spectacular story of the gay and colourful life of Vienna, the romantic capital, which is to commence a season at the Plaza Theatre on Saturday. The iilm has an enchanting background of Viennese music that sets the story off to its best advantage. Holt Marvell and George Posford, who are responsible for the story, have made a cohesive tale, with none of the improbabilities that frequently occur in productions where music and song are brought in without regard to credibility. Mr Buchanan takes the role of Captain Max. of the Austrian cavalry, whoso father was on eccentric old general, to whom the word of the Emperor was law. The .captain fell in love with a pretty flower-seller, but tho Emperor "commanded" that he should marry a countess. Just at this time Austria went to war with Servia, the culmination of which saw the Emperor dead and the status of the Austrian aristocracy considerably reduced. The love story of Max and the flower-girl, taken by Anna Neagle, a newcomer to the films, makes delightful entertainment.
